Her poverty addiction behavior is at its worst in depriving her employees of heat and food. I really don't get it, unless it is the justification for £6500 gazeboes which you only "need" because the fountain you insist upon installing in the walled garden is too small.View attachment 1313804

You said in a previous reply that your big projects this year were the Grand Salon and the garden but what about your heating? The last we saw were water leaks all over the Chateau and you and Amaury working out the sizes of new radiators. You said then that this was the year of the heating.

We’re still collecting heating quotes, so we’re aiming for completion in time for winter 2023/24But we Lalanders are a hardy bunch - and we have the added joy of knowing that this winter should be our last cold one! Also, as the new rooms are completed (Marquis’s salon and grand salon), the final heating pipes and radiators are being installed.

Coupled with a cost of living crisis across Europe, projected to continue well into next year increasing everyone's energy bills and relying on electrical heaters paid out of the YouTube ad revenue; money which could further the renovation of her own HMN. Her priorities do not support her claims that she is truly invested in renovating her home. She's a con woman and must be held to account. This latest revelation about the heating system delayed to 2023/24 should ignite us all once more to hold her to account. We know what she will do - ride out the autumnal months in the cold, bugger off for her three month winter holidays and return for spring. Meanwhile, poor Kim, Dan and the brainwashed volunteers will be shivering and teeth chattering (think of Dan's new crowns) whilst, Lady Deceit is on a sun lounger with Phyllis licking her feet. Her greed knows no bounds.
Stephanie needs, perhaps, another year of Patreon and YouTube to be able to think about buying a villa in Venice. As long as she can drag the "sheep" on Patreon, she will drag them.
It's just not clear to me that they can't add 2 + 2 or they don't want to.
Maybe each of them thinks ok $ 5 is not a big amount, but what they don't understand is that there are 3500 of them and that SJ collects big money every month.
Please have someone explain this situation to me because I don’t want to believe that people are so stupid.

The purchase of that hand carved and steel or iron “pagoda” is ludicrous. That money should have gone towards the heating. I cannot believe how she thinks it is just fine to leave people staying there without any heat (except for a few space heaters?) while she spends the winter in warm climates. Sheer selfishness and greed. And clearly the money has gone to her head and everywhere else. The Quarantine Diaries were nothing like what she puts out now. She pulled in so many followers with those videos. And losing with what is happening now.
She is putting money aside to go towards something else (Venice?) as has been said before or to her own Swiss bank account. It seems more obvious than ever at this point if the heating may be pushed out again. Her patrons should really take a stand as this one person stated in the live chat/comments and stop funding her lifestyle. The green monster (or rather….yellow) is out of control.
Won't such cold temps damage the new panelling in the marquis' apartment and the €30K panelling for the grand salon? As well as other antiques? Doesn't it contribute to the rising damp damaging the facade?
I think the Tartlet who suggested she's cooking the books of 2020 and 2021 is right. She doesn't have the money to do either the façade nor the heating, because she needs to repay her debt in order to legitimise her enterprises. I know I know I know, I'm contradicting Clara who claims that Stephanie believes she's done nothing wrong; so I ask, why the delay in publishing the accounts in full? She's hiding something, that's why, because Stephanie knows she has done something wrong and I firmly believe it's her previous financial misdemeanours with other people's money - her Patreon account. I genuinely hope she is correcting the mistakes, because she morally has a responsibility to do so, besides she'd have to do it if her case went to court.
The cooking the books theory also is supported by the work halting on all the gîtes, the upstairs shower room, the natural swimming pool, the lake, the chapel, the china pantry, the pornographic splash back tiles (which I could do in one evening - hey photoshop wizard), the area cuisine, the terrace restoration, the list continues.... I don't buy the excuse that there aren't the tradesmen in the area.
To dispel this all you need do is type into google the following:
La Chatre constructeur
La Chatre électricien
La Chatre plombier chauffagiste
La Chatre plâtrier
and you'll swiftly discover there are plenty of housing developments popping up around Châteauroux and La Chatre area, which tells us there is indeed a workforce in the locality with the skills necessary for the renovation of HMN. Stephanie is lying to us on a continuous basis in order to cover up the negligence. I do genuinely think she is attempting to legitimise her Patreon business right now, but she's currently sitting on a cash flow problem because of it until all is remedied. However, I'm not sure she is using her own YouTube AdSense money to even the books, instead relying on the BnB to sort everything out. Look it's fully booked for the season - it makes sense, but I think if Stephanie truly wants to go straight she should humble herself and dip into her own YT money to rectify everything instead of buying things from auction sites, egged on by Phyllis. And sell that London flat you dumb ass, she doesn't even rent it out any longer.
And surprise, surprise Ms. Lazenby has had her post deleted....
What are you hiding Stephanie????

Absurd but true story of the UK lesbianism ban that never was
In 1920s Britain, lesbianism was almost made illegal, but the reason lawmakers decided against a ban may surprise you.

Several episodes of the new Chateau DIY Season 7 have aired this week on UK television Channel 4. No mention of Stepha-Me-ME or La Lande in the opening sequence showing several of this season’s chateau owners at work. I would think she would not be happy with that (ME-ME-ME)
In the 1st episode Tim and Rebecca are approaching the end of their 2-year renovation of their 2-storey gîte with huge structural work now haaving been completed. They demonstrate hard work and commitment plus the end result shows they have a good eye for interior decor. They alsohave been particularly ingenious with using found items in the chateau to be repurposed. These people are hard workers!
Another couple Tim and Krys who are now on their 2nd chateau renovation and in their 2nd year of work are shown doing further work on their formal garden and restoration of a tennis court. Again, not afraid to get their hands dirty and break a little sweat!
One more chateau owner his with wife away visiting family works with worked with a young French couple on the Workaway programme who joined the programme to learn building skills. He was teaching them some plumbing skills and they were helping him with his French. It was really interesting to see real Workaways doing and receiving what is intended for this project.
All of these chateau owners have been rolling up their sleeves and getting on with the work themselves; the hard grind of it all . I wonder if Stepha-Me-ME ever watches this programme to see what work is really like? Probably not since she thinks she is the star of the show!

OMG........ her skin is as thick as a Rino !We’re still collecting heating quotes, so we’re aiming for completion in time for winter 2023/24
I don't know who has the most cheek ...... Fanny with her excuses or Meghan Markle daring to be back in the UK with all those "terrible Royal people"!!
Haven't watched tonight's vlog yet even though I would like to see Sissinghurst again.
Lots of OTT comments though, and this one caught my attention :

Glad to see you have changed the glaring error seen in a previous ad for this vlog. As you have now noted, Vita's husband was certainly not Harold Bloom (who was an American literary critic). Her husband was Harold Nicolson, a British diplomat. The castle, now under the National Trust, still has close connections with their grandson, the writer, (Baron) Adam Nicolson, and his wife, the horticulturalist, Sarah Raven. Although Vita and Harold were married and had children, they each also had same sex lovers,
So, Baron Adam Nicolson (he is the spitting image of his mother) is married to Sarah Raven. She was a very well known garden designer 20+ years ago before branching out into TV presenting/writing etc and, more recently :
Sarah Raven - All you need for a beautiful & productive garden

I guess the poor patrons would have to buy new ones after they keep warm by burning them in the only working fireplace....
I can't check this now but I have sent a message to someone to do so... What SJ may not get is if they are indeed deleting videos... we have them all saved. Dingbats. Each and every post has been saved and sent to the writer/reporter(s) that have been working and following this nonsense like it is their life work. People love a good tabloid story! (See Youtube Austin McBroom)
SJ - You can squander money but you will not avoid the humiliation. I know you already know this. It must be exhausting. I would keep PJ around too. He is niave enough to kiss you on the head and tell you it will all be okay.
Also - one more thing - When is the Patreon party? When are you going to blame others for not being able to do it?
That Tartlett was me. I know a thing or two about this kind of bullshit. In my former life I dealt with many different types of construction projects and large service contracts. Millions of dollars. I did project management and contract administration. I also did procurement. We had to verify companies were robust enough to execute their contracts. That involves performance, paying subcontractors and suppliers, quality of deliverables. I found myself in many situations having to do forensic accounting to catch people trying to screw the people I represented. It usually starts as unmet obligations, then the lies start piling up, then you check on some things and you find money or cash flow problems, then you try to figure out how to get what was promised or extract a fair recompense.
I smell dirty money tricks all over her. She overspent for sure and is spending now to keep the wolves at bay, hoping she can BS her way through until she gets everything back in hand.
I’m not usually wrong. Also, as with most things in life, if something doesn’t add up, it’s because it doesn’t.
Thank you for your expertise. It suddenly became glaringly clear what was happening when she returned to the HMN in March. She's been playing games all along but we're onto her thankfully. I still believe she needs to be brought before the law and held to account for her behaviour, whether it was done mistakenly or not, (I'm leaning towards the latter though).

That’s the £6,500 reproduction gazebo, right?!
I've watched them all this week, rather enjoying the new people. 100% agree, they all work extremely hard. Tim/Rebecca and Tim/Krys especially so. The guy with the Dutch wife makes me laugh with his creations, he just loves his drill! Not sure that all those bird boxes will be put to good use as far too close together and some are open fronted which is easy prey for predators. Although I do understand that it was primarily meant as an art installation for their newly created sensory walk.
I think that SJ/Amaury, Anna/Philip and Anna/Edd must be in the next series as they have all recently been filmed but none are featured in the trailers at the start of the programmes. Who really knows??
It does, but you know Fanny Flash’s motto…c’est la vie…or is that c’est la guerre? It’s damn sure les clients sont stupides!
And those tree ferns in the entrance way, that weren't the tatty palms (fan palms?) were a combination of Dicksonia squarrosa (native to NZ) and Dicksonia Antartica (native to Australia and some other islands).Regarding #botanygate:
Those are palm trees not tree ferns. You can appreciate the palmated fronds.

She has repeatedly stated winter 2022, even Caroline Gooder corroborated the date.
It will never be back in hand as the only way she’ll stopped spending is when the cash tap is stoppered!
